Featuring Your Honest Gal Who Definitely Has Great Expectations
Firstly, You couldn’t describe me as terribly satisfied as an “independent” (aka: naturally single) person and not be lying. However, I’m not uncomfortable about it, either. I merely bring it up here as an appetizing piece of info foreshadowing what I am prepared to discuss honestly.
This time last week yours truly met for coffee with Trisha, pondering about buying a membership to Dallas Personals site. Today, I type to my readers as a happy member of the matchmaking service. Totally, it’s true. It’s great! If you know me at all, you may be wondering, “You totally owe me an explanation.”
Here’s how it went down, I looked at this Great Expectations Dating site and liked what I saw. They’re for the honest singles who care enough to know dating should have a point.
Because I’d never been interested in this silly social phenomenon most people so aptly entitled “dating.” I got it more than you know. Each night friends pester, “Are you two serious yet?” and “Please tell me you two are dating.”
“Ugh, and double ugh.” I say to them, and playfully so. “Not after that last blind date you set me up on.”
“Not true,” they deadpan. “You haven’t dated in a year, you wouldn’t know!”
Thankfully, that’s my best friend The One-And-Only hah! Patty Wilson. She offers reality to my brain to set me straight. People never fail for fresh advice. She made a good point, and I joined.
Back to the meaning of this essay. As I selected from thousands of outfits (hah) and desirable, honest singles for my first Great Expectations date, I realized something deep. For the longest time, I hadn’t had too many literal great expectations for dating and myself in the fun-filled path of this world. Being single isn’t so bad, only if you take the opportunity to meet new people. Having great expectations makes a difference for those who believe.
